> Dr. Howard did not apply for any kind of permit, despite Georgetown’s historic status and the fact that the sidewalk is public space. Public land, the end. Should not have done it. Moving past that, these places go for millions and are safer and have better schools because of the "historic status", but everyone wants those benefits but don't think the rules apply to them. Personally I like confronting sculptures, a graphic Jesus on the cross or Hitler. Do I get to do that, while everyone else has to be historic to keep my land value up? I don't believe these have their own Wiki page, they are bulk made and basically props from the latest movies, not even the original series - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_(sculptures) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_(sculptures) I would hazard a guess someone doesn't know the difference between Thailand and Taiwan. And the 'made from recycled parts' has always made me laugh even 20 years ago when I bought (a very small) one in Thailand. So many are sold they'd be using new stuff.
